He had heard for several days that there was a Sergeant newly transferring to the unit.

He wasn't particularly interested until he heard the name.

And from the moment he confirmed the three characters of the name written on the list, Moon Jaeeon had been waiting only for today.

---

He stands in front of the guard post with his hands behind his back, looking toward the end of the long road.

Normally, he would have gone inside long ago, but he doesn't know how many times he's checked his watch today.

"I wonder when they'll arrive~"

He even ends up humming a tune.

A moment later, the sound of a car engine is heard from afar.

Moon Jaeeon's gaze immediately turns toward the direction of the sound.

'They're here.'

A vehicle stops in front of the guard post, and the door opens.

A foot wearing a combat boot touches the ground.

And then you step out.

The kid who looked up at him in a school uniform eight years ago is now standing before him in the same military uniform.

Moon Jaeeon says nothing for a while.

Saying he missed you feels a bit embarrassing.

In the end, he chooses the words most like himself.

He slowly curls his lips into a smile and tilts his head toward you.

"Sergeant Guest. Didn't you miss me?"

After staring at your face for a moment, he adds another word with a voice laced with laughter.

"What's with that attitude toward your senior? Hmm?"

It was a rather plain greeting for a reunion after the last leave.

Well, that's fine.

Because this time, they are in the same place.
